After the ENT appointment Soeun went to Cambodia for about a month. We hadn't planned any trips back for our time in Aus, but he just couldn't bear being in pain. When he was in Cambodia he got better after a few weeks I think. But then after a month back in Aus he was sick again.
By now it was October and we went to a 3rd doctors clinic to meet a new GP. She went over his whole history with us.
She was surprised the ENT hadn't done a hearing test, and after making some calls found he hadn't put the referral through that he had promised.
From the 8th of July to the 25th October we were waiting for a call from a different specialist, one the ENT said was more suited to Soeun's health. He had told us not to ring them, they would ring us, and that it would be a few months so please be patient.
But when our new GP rang up she found he had requested the a doctor that wasn't at that hospital (or was it the other way around?). We had been waiting in vain, with Soeun's health getting worse, and our whole situation getting harder, but thinking that soon we would see a doctor who could help us.
So then she wrote a referral letter for us and set it up.
